Just follow the instructions right? 9/10 cases it works perfectly fine for
us at least (though we had quite a bit of trouble updating from a specific
openBD version to any newer ones). And if you can't set up a second
(virtual) production server you can always just make a copy and getting
the new version running as a seperate web app (copying all your code). It
takes a bit of work of course to configure correctly, but the advantage is
that with a single config change you can switch from the old web app to
the new one. The only thing my gut feeling tells me is that you might be
better off not doing step 4 and reconfiguring everything by hand.
Either way, updating is already so easy that I doubt anything could
really help... It would be possible to make a tool which literally does
those 5 steps you see below, but even that seems to be overkill.
Greetings,

Any info regarding this matter is highly appreciated.

Vital thing is you do a test run on a server other than production.
It's a simple process but there's really no excuse not to test things
out on >>another box.
I am not using OpenBD Jam. Any links to
resources or a direct help here would be greatly appreciated. OpenBD
is running in Linux CentOS 5.5
How specifically did you install OpenBD?
Basics are you:
1. Back everything up
2. Blow away your WEB-INF directory and replace it with the new version
3. Blow away your /bluedragon directory and replace it with the new
version
4. Replace /WEB-INF/bluedragon/bluedragon.xml with your backed up
version (so you retain all your settings)
That's pretty much it, but knowing how you installed will help us
give you more specific guidance.
